P. C. Macfarlane Warns’Califomia Young Women Against the Evils of High-Heeled Life ALAMEDA, Feb. 11— “What a Daugh- } ter Ought to Know” was the subject of an address delivered by the Rev. P. C. Mactarlane of the Christian church to- night, the minister taking as his text the following words from Psalms, 45:x: ‘“‘Hearken, oh daughter, and consider and incline thine ear.”” He said in part: The American girl is the artist's ideal, She is a theme for a poem rather than a sermon. Beside her the Ophelias and Violas and Jullets and Desdemonas and Portias of the master dramatist pale into the mere ghosts of women. Our authors of fiction have never written the great American novel, literary dreams the great American girl. We are now to consider her in her social relations and what she ought to know. A daughter should know what & home is. To many daughters ‘the home 15 & lunch coun- ter, sleeping place and robing room—a place where she wears her old clothes, slouches about with unbuttoned shoes and a bad temper. The rest of the world is to her a parade ground, where she acts and looks her best. Home she makes a place for all sorts of relaxations. She loosens the irritating places in her temper, as well as in her wearing gear when she gets home. Many vacant lots bear a sign reading- ‘No Qumping here.” 1 would put up such a sign over the door of the home for young ladies to read, “No dumping bere.”” Do not dump your ill humor on the heads of your brothers. Do not dump your silliness in the face of your father. Do not dump your laziness upon the shoulders of your mother, nor your selfishness and frritableness upon ali, How many young ladies lcave the cheery smile and the winning manners outside on the parade ground. Home is the theater of love and is therefore the place where we should be our hepplest, 100K our sweetest and give our best. The people on the parade ground are not looking at you; they are trying to make you look at them. They care little for yo you owe little to them. Give your best at home. In a room in the White House Alice Roose- velt is plling up presents as high as her pretty head. Poor, indeed, is the daughter who In the private chambers of her heart has not re- ses filled to the brim with the gifts of love ch have come to her, not from foreign s or foreign friends,. but from loved who dwell no farther away than the in her own home. Every daughter ought to know what a moth- er is. And now are laughing at me. course you know what a mother is. *‘Moth- er,” you , “‘is*a hired girl, who works with- out wages and has no regular day out or hours oft.”” Now, girls, you are wrong there. Moth- er is a woman, which is to say, she is more human than a man and more divine. feel more, more pain and more Joy. one who has fulfilled the high destiny of wo- manhood by becoming a mother. & Her whole life is love. She is human. She¥needs your help and your ‘mpathy. Do not refrigerate her. Do not hold yourself aloof from her. Draw close to her, . Don’t let her break ker back over the wash- tub in the basement, while you tumble lazily out of bed at 10 o'clock in the morning, sip a cup of chocolate for your breakfast and then dawdle away the remaining hours of the morning over the piano keys. And when you have done this, when afternoon comes and com- pany with it, and you fresh and cheerful, sparkle most vivaciously, do not be ashamed of weary mother's flushed face, red hands and weariness of spirit. Rather be ashamed of yourself that you permit her to bear your bur- dens while you ruthlessly kill her joys with your own nride and scorn. Every daughter ought to know the function of a fa “Papa is the man who pays the frefght,”” is the opinion of many a daughter. She sails through her girlhood days, spending more or less, as circumstances permit, and papa pays the freight. Papa is more than that, girls. He works hard. He has troubles, but he does not tell them to you. He would like to, but he reasons that you are young and know liftle of the hard side of the world, and that you will learn of it all too soon, anyway. He would like to tell you, ror he needs the en- thusiastic sympathies of a brightreyed and warm-hearted girl like you, Hunt Lim up to-morrow night, girls, when he comes home. Take his paper away from him, sit in his lap and give him some good old hugs. Let him feel your curls on his bald head and your soft cheek against his weather- beaten face. And in that ecstatic moment do not ask him for an automobile or & pony and cart. Do not ask him for anything. Just love him a little. He will feel ten years younger and ten times happler. Tell him he is the best fatfier in the world. He knows better than that, but he will try to be then and there. Take some of your confldences to him als You will be surprised to find what a wise old boy he is. One of your problems just now, daughter, is to_study men. Get a iittle help from father He knows men better than you do. He has been studying them in a general way ever since he was born and in a particular way ever since he got out of school. He knows all men a little and one man a lot. And know- ing that all other men are probably as bad and about as good as he s, he has a line on all those young fellows that are whispering Romeo tales into your pink ear. It is a good thing to let papa pay the freight, but don't make him ride on the coweatcher,’ too. Take him into the observation car with you. The fundamentals of every woman's training should be the housekeeping duties. She should know how to sweep and to dust, to cook and to sew, to cut and to fit. It may be true that her ‘station in life Is such that she will never have to do anything of this Kind; still life changes, most unaccountably at times. Wo all know women who are sweeping and baking tress of the servants in her household who knows how the work of each should he done. A girl’s true happiness s not in society, but in the home, In the soclety of mothers and sisters, brothers and fathers. The real values, dadghters, do not lie in the eddles of the clal whirl, where they do not consist of vani- ties and fatterfes, of soclal prestige, of new gowns and_new hats, of high wines and high heels. A woman recently broke her leg be- cause she was wearing high-heeled shocs. Many & poor gir] breaks her heart because she is moving in high-heeled soclety. Life is not a skating rink nor an automobile ride with stops at roadhouses. Daughters, shun the fast young man, shun fast society, shun every ap- pearance of evil; do nothing you will be ashamed to tell your mother and father and brother. —_————— WILL HOLD TOURNAMENT.

The meeting is appointed as a result of the Lake Mohonk conference on national ar- bitration, held in June last, when a com- | mittee was appointed to arouse interest in the principles of the congress among college students throughout America. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler was appointed to serve as a member of that committee, representing the Western col- leges. The anniversary of Washington's birthday was denoted as a proper time for general meetings in all colleges, where arbitration principles might be discussed by able students, faculty men and other persons. Such exercises have already been arranged for by the Colorado Col- lege, Calorado Springs, Colo; Occidental College, Los Angeles; University of Wash- ington, Seattle, Wash.; University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyo.; University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah; Unlversity of Colorado, Boulder, Colo., and Univer- sity of Southern California, Los Angeles. Nearly all the other colleges of the West- ern territory have signified their intention to take up the idea, so that on Washing- ton’s birthday nearly every college and university west of the Rocky Mountains will join with the Eastern colleges and universities in recognition of this great work. The meeting at the University of Cali- fornia will be held in the Greek Theater at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, February 22. There will be addresses by two prom- inent men of affairs and also selected representatives of the- Scnate and Stu- dents’ Congress, the two debating socie- ties of the university. These exercises will be followed by a patriotic concert by the University of California cadet band. Frank Shuman, president of the Senate; M. C. Lynch, president of the Students’ Congress, and Prentis N. Gray, president of the Assoclated Students, are the com- mittee of students who are arranging for the students’ part of the programme. 8. F. Long, director of the cadet band, is in charge of the musical programme. —_————— PHYSICAL CULTURE STRONGLY INDORSED German - Americans Favor Teaching It ir. Public Schools. OAKLAND, Feb. 11.—That the German- Americans of California are persistent in their efforts to secure a regular system of physical culture in the public schools is evidenced by a resolution which was unanimously passed by the Pacific Turn Bezirk, which held its thirty-fifth annual convention at Germania Hall to-day. The resolution directed the members of each turnverein In the State belonging to the bezirk to vote at the next election for only such candidates for the State Legis- lature as will favor a bill requiring phy- sical culture to be taught in all public schools. Another resolution was adopted directing the mecmbers of the different vereins to do thelr utmost to have the German language taught In the public schools of the State. The convention was presided over by John Simmen, the outgoing president, and was attended by delegates from all the turnvereins belonging to the Pacific Be- zirk, or circle. In his annual report Simmen said there were 159 active turners in the bezirk, 76 barenriege or veterans and 8 in the la- dies’ class, making a total of 322 of active ‘Turners and ladies. The election of officers resulted in the selection of Albert Currlin of the Oakland Turn Verein. as president, F. Ruhstaller of the Bacramento Turn Verein as vice president, F. Fischer of the San Francis- co Turn Verein as recording secretary, and F. Herten of the Mission Turn Ve- rein, 8an Francisco, as corresponding sec- retary. It was decided that the headquarters of the bezirk remain with the San Francisco Turn Verein, but that the next annual convention should be held at Stockton. It was also decided that the bezirk should remain &nother year in the German- American Verbund and should meet with that organization in Los Angeles June 24, when more than 1000 members are ex- pected to attend. 5 Theodore Gier of Oakland was appoint- ed to arrange for the organization of a turn verein in Visalla and other interjor towns, and the convention closed with a vote of thanks to The Call for its efforts in furthering the interests of the Turners. This evening the Jelegates enjoyed an znt‘ulrtunment and dance at Germania Hall. i LINCOLN FARM WILL BE NATIONAL PARK Sl Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The plans of the Lincolu Farm Association, which was or- ganized to develop Lincoln's birthplace near Hoagenville, Ky., into a national park, have progressed so far that the hopes of those who originated the idea seem sure to be realized.

M. McDonald reported to the police that his automobile robe, valued at $30, 'was stolen from his machine while he was cutting figures elghts on a pair of rolier skates at Piedmont. : C. M. McDonald is the son of a capital- ist and lives with his parents at 1353 Tenth avenue. Incldentally, C. M. Mc- Donald is a Jjolly fellow and he drives his machine at a jolly speed. But he has a chauffeur, whom he left in charge of the automobile last night while he went Into the rink to enjoy the skating and dis- play his skill. When he came out the mahout advised him that the valuable robe had been stolen and McDonald to- day reported the theft to the police. There were several other thefts report- ed. Captain H. Landers reported the loss of a gold watch, and a man whose name is not given by the police but who es- corted Landers to his home at 18380 Sev- enth street, is hel. pending an investi- gatlon. 1 Mrs. W.

BOY TURNED OUT IN STREETS BY PARENTS Willie Armstrong Harshly Punished Because He Skated Too Late. BERKELEY, Feb. 11.—Shivering with cold and with no place to sleep, Willie Armstrong, the 10-year-old son of Ed- ward M. Armstrong, a painter, residing at 1831 Grove street In Oakland, knocked timidly at the door of the resi- dence of John G. Anderson, a carpenter, at 1911 Berkeley way, early this morn- ing and begged for shelter until day- light, declaring that his parents refused him admittance to his home because he had comehome late from a skating rink. Anderson took the litle waif in and no- tified the police of the case. After hearing the story of the boy Marshal Vollmer communicated with the Oakland police, who in turn notified the parents of the boy of his where- abouts, but they declared that it was too late to go to Berkeley after him and seemed to care little whether he re- turned home or not. As the Berkeley authorities had no place to keep the child he was put on the last car to Oakland, which was met by Sergeant Bock of the Oakland department, who escorted the boy to his home and after some trouble roused the members of the family and ordered them to take care of their son. To Marshal Vollmer the boy declared that he had gone home from the skat- ing rink and found the door locked. He said he had awakened his parents, but was refused admittance to the house, and, not knowing what to do, had started to walk the streets all night. He sald he had walked to Berkeley, but becoming chilled and frightened, had finally asked for shelter for the rest of the night at the Anderson home.

MORE EVIDENCE FOUND IN THE TURF SCANDAL Secretary of Trotting Asso- ciation Promises Sensa- tional Developments NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The worst is yet to come in the Memphis gold cup scan- dal, it Murray Howe, secretary of the Memphis Trotting Association, makes good his statement to the Morning Tele- graph, “I have far more than the public has been told,” he #aid and he intimated that he would have more information to-day. ‘When he was asked whether he had any other affidavits to present in court be- sides those sworn to by Ed Sanders and George Speer, he sald: “You may rest assured that I have more than the pub- lic has been told so far. I have under- taken this matter after consulting the best legal advice that the Memphis Trot- ting Association could obtain. I wired to Memphis this morning for some docu- ments and if my attorneys will consent I shall make them public.” C. K. G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon, who arrived to-day from Chicago, made a statement in which he virtually washed his hands of the whole affair. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—With the arrtval in town of C. K. G. Billings to-day from Chicago, a report was started in turf eir- cles that a suit for $100,000 damages for the alleged .drugging of Lou Dillon be- fore the Memphis gold cup race, at Mem- phis In October, 1904, was certain to fol- low the suit against Elmer E. Smathers for the return of the trophy. Billings refused either to deny or confirm the re- port of the damage suit. Smathers said he had never heard of it. The latter scouted ‘the idea. He asserted that he would recover the cup and expects to have it in his custody not later than to-morrow. “Is this suit against Smathers prelim- inary to an action for damages?” Billings was asked. “I gon’t care to say anything on that subject,” was his reply. “Is it true as has been asserted by Smathers and his counsel that you are behind this action?” “I must decline to say anything on that subject.” Smathers sald he was in possession of ample evidence to vindicate himself of the charge that he conspired with Edward Sanders and George Speer, both well- known drivers on the grand ecircuit. *“When this case comes to trial” said Smathers, ‘“the affidavits made by San- ders and Speer will be torn to shreds. Their statements afford the sole support for - the action against me. These men ‘will be shown up in thelr true character, and that should be sufficlent vindication for me.” Dr. Gill, veterinary expert of this city, sald to-night: “Story about drugging of mare is pre- posterous in opinfon. It is my firm conviction that use of an eight-ounce bag of mercury as described by Sanders in his affidavit, would never have pro- duced the results credited to it. Tied up in a rubber bag, as he swears it was, it could not have acted as corrosive poison.” TENNESSEE CONTRACT SPEED Vessel Will Be Given a Four Hourw Test on the Atlantic Coast To-Day.

They have deserted socliety which clam- ored for them and will live in the coun- try. The Bavarian nobleman, who fol- lowed pretty Mildred Harrison, a Phila- delphia heiress, across the continent on what California society then termed a fruitless chase., and won her hand at Colorado Springs, has decided to build his wife a magnificent home near Ham- ilton, Glenn County. There they will en- joy the outdoor life and the mountain alr. The home of Count and Countess von Holnstein is to be built on a grand sca There will be first, of course, the gre house, with wide porches and plenty of cozy corners. There will be barns for the horses, a greenery, watcrfalls and gardens. The grounds are to be spa- clous, contalning many acres. The object of Count von Hoinstein in building this magnificent country re dence is to give his wife the benefits an outdoor life. Miss Harrison, as is best known, learned to love the out- door Mfe of California during her stays at Santa Barbara in the wintertime. She became an excellent horsewoman and rode all day at times without great fa- tigue. She walked much of the time and strode over the Santa Barbara hills like a man. At any outdoor game requiring strength and skill she was an ardent expert. When she became the wife of Count von Holnstein last year the society of Southern California thought that the pair would reside in Los Angeles or Pasa- dena. Not so the .bride and groom Countess” von Holnstein was far from willing to e up the outdoor life she had learnedto love. The Count was anxious that she should keep in the air. They did not rate society with the beau- tles of nature. Besides, the Count is a she [xren! strong fellow and he liked to have his wife out riding and walking with him. So Glenn County was finally selected as a home and a site near Hamilton was picked out. Count von Holnstein will de- vote much of his time to the raising of sugar beets. He is interasted in the sugar refinery at Chico. He has mining prop- erties in the south, but he will make the raising of sugar beets his real busi- ness. Count von Holnstein arrived at the St. Francis Hotel yesterday. His wife will join him in a few days and they will jour- ney on to Glenn County. ———— AND LITTLEFIELD TO DEBATE IN PITTSBURG Congressmen Will Discuss the Tari®t Question Before Business Men.
